 专门替中国人写的英语语法02

第十一章 词组(Phrases)和子句(Clauses)

请看以下的句子,特别注意划线的字群:

1.           Understanding English is easy.

2.           I want you to work hard.

3.           Peter, who has been to England,speaks good English.

4.           I told him that I was going away.

Understanding English和to work hard有一共同特色,他们都没有主词,也没有动词,这种字群,叫做词组(phrase)。

Who has been to England和I was going away中,内部都有主词和动词,这种字群,叫子句(clause

由于我们已经对词组很熟悉,我们在这里不再讨论,而我们在这一章将多多介绍子句的用法。

11§1 问题型式的名词子句

假如我们说〝我不知道他住在哪里〞,或者〝他究竟住在哪里仍是个谜〞,我们就可以用这种问题型式的名词子句,每一个名词子句都要用who, where, whether, which等来开始。以下是典型的例子:

I don't know where he came from.(我不知道他来自何处。)

Whether or not he is an American is still a secret.(他是否是个美国人仍然是个秘密。)

I will find out where he is living.(我要找出他住在哪里。)

I can not remember whether he smokes or not.(我不记得他是否吸烟。)

Please let me know how old he is.(请让我知道他多大年纪。)

Kindly tell me what you really need.(请让我知道你需要什么。)

You have to decide which book you want to buy.(你应该决定买哪一本书。)

Do you know where he is from?(你知道他是从哪里来的?)

Do you know who he is?(你知道他是谁吗?)

Please ask your brother whether he is coming or not.(请问你的兄弟他会不会来。)

When she is coming remains a puzzle.(她何时来仍然是个谜。)

I don't know what he is interested in.(我不知道他的兴趣何在。)

I don't understand what he is talking about.(我不知道他在谈什么。)

Do you know whose bicycle this is?(你知道这辆脚踏车是谁的吗?)

Do you know which country Hawaii belongs to?(你知道夏威夷属于哪一个国家吗?)

You should ask your mother where you were born.
(你应该问你的母亲你在哪里生的。)

虽然每一个名词都有问题的意义,我们却不能在名词子句中用问句的型式,因为毕竟这个名词子句仅仅是一个子句而已,它的结尾并不是〝?〞。

因此以下的句子都是错的:

*I don't know where did he come from.

*I will find out how old is he.

*Kindly tell me what do you need.

*You have to decide which book do you want to buy.

*When is he coming remains a puzzle.

【练习四十八】

将以下的中文句子译成英文:

1.    我不知道你是谁。

2.    请告诉我你是否是美国人。

3.    我不记得你是否喝咖啡。

4.    请问你的姊姊她去年是否去过日本。

5.    你知道他是谁吗?

6.    他从哪里来的是一个谜(puzzle)。

7.    我要找出他哥哥会不会游泳。

8.    我知道他为何如此悲伤。

9.    你知道玛丽什么时候来吗?

10.   你知道发生了什么事吗?

11.   我知道天空为什么是蓝的。

12.   请告诉我你去年去哪里工作的。

13.   你知道他在谈什么吗?

14.   我不懂他的问题是什么。

【练习四十九】

改错:

1.      Please tell me why ishe so sad.

2.      I do not know whereis she from.

3.      Please tell me howmany people are there in this house.

4.      Let me know how oldare you.

5.      Is he a Japanese is amystery.

6.      Do you know who isthe president of the United States

7.      May I ask you whichkind of coffee do you like?

8.      I can not rememberhow old am I?

9.      What is he talkingabout is unclear to me.

10.     Do you know why is hecoming?

【练习五十】

选择适当的代名词,如whether, which, what, who, how, when, why等填入下面句子的空格(有时会有多种正确的填法):

1. I don't know          book you bought.

2. Do you know          he is from?

3. Please ask him          he drinks tea ornot.

4.          he is thinkingabout is well known to all of us.

5. Let me guess          old you are.

6. May I ask          you are so sad?

7. I don't know          he is.

8. Do you know          house this is?

9. This is not          I want.

10. I don't care          you want to say.

11§2 以that开始的名词子句

现在我们先试着翻译以下的句子:

地球是圆的是众所周知的事。

一种直接了当的翻译是:

*The earth is round is known to everyone.

遗憾的是,以上的句子是不对,我们必须加一个that到名词子句里去,以下的翻译是正确的:

That the earth is round is known to everyone.

我们再来翻译一个中文句子:

我要求他一定要用功念书。

直接了当的翻译可能像下面的:

*I demand he must work hard.

这是错的,我们应该加一个that在这个名词子句的前面。以下的翻译才是正确的:

I demand that he must work hard.

虽然我们常看到这种that被省略的情形,我们仍希望大家知道,为保险起见,最好不要省掉that。以下是一些例子:

That the sun rises from the west is wrong.(太阳从西方升起是错的)

That a lot of Jews were killed during the Second WorldWar is now a historical fact.
(大批犹太人在第二次大战中被杀是历史上的事实)

I didn't know that he is such a diligent student.(我不知道他是如此勤快的学生)

I demand that you go away.(我要求你离开)

I suggest that you go swimming every morning.(我建议你每天早上游泳)

That we should all respect our parents should betaught to our kids.
(我们该教孩子们尊敬父母)

I don't think that he is a good athlete.(我不认为他是一个好运动员)

Do you think that she is a good actress?(你认为她是一个好的演员吗?)

That he can speak good English helps him.(他能说很好的文,这点对他很有帮助)

I propose that we get married.(我建议我们结婚)

Let us always remember that there are a lot of poorpeople in the world.
(我们永远记住世界上有很多穷人)

Never forget that we should always love one another.(不要忘记我们应该互相友爱)

I am surprised to find out that he is a Catholic.(我很惊讶地发现他是个天主教徒)

That we lost the game made all of us frustrated.(我们输了,这件事令我们大感沮丧)

I can hardly believe that his English is so good.(我不能相信他的英文如此之好)

【练习五十一】

请将that加到以下句子去:

1.*I told youyou must leave.

2.*I am gladyou are here now.

3.*He is anAmerican is unknown to us.

4.*Can youimagine he is Chinese?

5.*Do youthink he is a Chinese?

6.*Hitler wasdefeated in the Second World War is an important event in the history ofmankind.

7.*I do notthink he is a bad student.

8.*I amsurprised to know she is from Japan.

9.*It is hardto imagine he does not have a high school diploma.

10.*Do youbelieve he is innocent?

11.*I demand mystudents they work hard.

12.*The sunrises in the east is a fact.

【练习五十二】

将以下句子翻译成英文:(用that)

1. 我不相信他是我的哥哥。

2. 我劝(advice)他到美国去。

3. 你相信地球是圆的吗?

4. 我告诉他他一定要读这本书。

5. 我忘记了你是个小孩。

11. 我从不知道他如此聪明。

12. 我知道他不能来。

13. 我希望他能来。

14. 你相不相信他在台湾长大的?

15. 我无法决定他该不该念大学。

16. 你告诉我他去年到美国了。

17. 这位老师不知道我的爸爸也是老师。

18. 我要问他明天会不会来我家。

19. 你知道这火车到台北吗?

20. 请告诉我你会不会说英文。

11§3 形容词子句(Adjective Clauses)

在上二节,子句都是用作名词的。在这一节,我们要介绍一种新的子句,那就是形容词子句。请看以的中文句子:

位在那房子里的人是我的哥哥。

我们不能直接了当地将以上的句子译成:

*The person live in that house is my brother

第一种办法是将live in the house改成living in the house,也就是说,我们可以将那个中文句子译成下列的形式:

The person living in the house is my brother.

以上的句子中,living in the house是一个词组,我们可以将这个词组改成子句。因此,以下的翻译是正确的:

The person who lives in the house is my brother.

在以上的句子中,who lives in the house是一个子句,因为它有主词,也有动词。他的作用是形容The person,所以是一个形容词子句。

由于形容词子句永远都是在形容一个名词,因此我们在这个子句中必需有一个代名词(pronoun),像who, when, where, whom等。

以下是一些形容词子句的例子,读者应该弄清楚每一个形容词子句所形容的名词。

The people who live in the country are often veryhealthy.
(住在乡下的人常常很健康)

Do you like people who always talk about themselves.
(你喜欢那些永远讲他自己的人吗?)

The house which we bought last year is located besidea lake.
(我们去年买的房子座落在湖边)

I met your uncle who has a red car.(我遇见了你的有红色汽车的叔叔)

Do you know the author who wrote this novel?(你知道写这本书的作者吗?)

I have been to the house where Charles Dickens lived.
(我曾去过狄更司住过的房子)

I don't remember the year when the Second World Warbroke out.
(我不记得二次世界大战哪一年爆发的)

Let me know the date when you got married.(让我知道你是哪一天结婚的)

I bought the car which Michael Johnson drove.(我下了麦克强森开的车子)

The storm which hit India last week is very strong.
(上周袭击印度的暴风雨是很强烈的)

I thank all of you who helped me.(我要谢谢所有帮助过我的人)

The girl whom you met last night works in a library.
(你昨晚碰到的女孩子在一个图书馆里工作)

The students whom you taught like you very much.(那些你教过的学生很喜欢你)

I like the professor who taught me English.(我喜欢那位教我英文的老师)

In this country, there are a lot of students who go toschool by bus.
(这个国家有很多学生搭乘公车上学)

Have you heard about the murder case that occurredlast night?
(你有没有听到有关昨天晚上发生的谋杀案?)

Those who love others will be loved by others.(爱人者人恒爱之)

He is a person whom everyone is talking about thesedays.(他是大家最近在讨论的人)

The party which I went to is interesting.(我去参加的宴会很有趣)

The professor whom I spoke to is very friendly.(这位我和他谈话的教授很和善)

Russia, which this island belongs to, is a big country.
(这个岛屿属于俄国,俄国是一个大的国家)

请注意以上最后的四个句子,它们有一个共同的特性,那就是子句的最后一个字是一个介系词(preposition),我们先看第一个句子:

He is a person whom everyone is talking about thesedays.

这一句话可以分成两个句子来讲

He is a person.

Everyone is talking about him these days.

因此我们将这两句话合并而成为

He is a person whom everyone is talking about thesedays.

在正式的英文中,我们必须说:

He is a person about whom everyone is talking thesedays.

再看下一句:

The party Which I went to is interesting.

这句话也可以分成两句来讲:

The party is interesting.

I went to the party.

因此我们将两个句子合并为一个句子:

The party which I went to is interesting.

正式的讲法应该是

The party to which I went is interesting.

同理,在正式英文中,其它二个名词子句中的介系词,也应该放到前面去:

The professor to whom I spoke is very friendly.

Russia, to which this island belongs, is a big country.

我们还有一点必须在此指出,请看以下错误的句子:

*I like the book which you gave it to me.

以上句子中的it是多余的,因为gave的受词是which,不需要加it。

以下的句子都是错的:

*He is the person whom everyone loves him.

*He is not the person whom you saw him.

【练习五十三】

将以下句子译成英文:(用形容词子句)

1. 我见到那位开快车的孩子。

2. 我们在讨论那些有问题的学生。

3. 每天游泳的人一定很强壮。

4. 开车送我去火车站的人是我的学生。

5. 你所看到的女孩子是我的妹妹。

6. 我喜欢你所写的诗。

7. 你们谈到的那位教授是我的哥哥。

8. 你们所听到的音乐是蓝调韵律(R & B)。

9. 我喜欢那些有图画的书。

10. 我不知道林肯在哪一个城市出生的。

11. 我很喜欢你送我的CD。

12. 我昨晚看的电影很无聊(boring)。

【练习五十四】

改错:

1.*I saw theman who you talked about.

2.*He is notthe man who we met.

3.*Those cryvery often are usually not liked.

4.*I like totalk to people which are friendly.

5.*I enjoyreading the book which you gave it to me.

6.*Do you knowthe person which every one knows?

7.*Peter is agood singer practices singing everyday.

8.*Do you knowPeter who we talked about?

9.*Did you seethe person who I spoke to?

10.*I have seenthe person whom we talked about him.

【练习五十五】

将代名词如when, where, which等填入空格:

1. He is the man           is very goodin English.

2. I don't know the person           you talkedto.

3. This is not the house           the presidentlives.

4. I do not like any one           criesfrequently.

5. Did you read the book           you boughtlast month?

6. Do you know the year           the Second WorldWar ended?

7. Do you know that student           I taught?

8. I have no idea about the person           you aretalking about.

9. Do you know           he is talkingabout?

10. Do you know           dress it is?


第十二章 冠词(Articles)

假设我们要翻译以下的中文句子:

他是聪明的孩子

也许我们会将以上的句子翻译成以下的句子:

*      He is clever baby.

这种翻译是错的,boy的前面,必须有一个冠词,英文冠词只有两个:a和the,在这个例子,我们应该加a,因此正确的翻译是:

He is a clever boy.

我们现在再看以下的中文句子:

他是昨天来看我的孩子。

以下的翻译是错的:

*      He is boy who came tosee me yesterday.

为什么错呢?仍然是在于boy前面没有冠词,这次我们必须加the,正确的翻译是:

He is the boy who came to see me yesterday.

一般来说,英文句子的单数名词前面都会有冠词,没有冠词是例外,以下的句子都是错的:

*      He saw cat.

*      Swimming is goodexercise.

*      Java is computerlanguage.

*      King of England died lastnight.

*      He is professor whotaught me English.

正确的句子是:

He saw a cat.

Swimming is a good exercise.

Java is a computer language.

The King of England died last night.

He is the professor who taught me English.

我们知道大多数的名词前面要加冠词,但究竟要加a,还是the呢?我们在下一节讨论。

12§1 a和the之不同用法

athe最大的不同,在于a后面的名词不是指定的,而the后面的名词是有所指的。我们不妨看以下的两个句子,他们都是正确的,但意义却不同。

John is a boy.

John is the boy.

〝John is a boy.〞的意思是〝约翰是一个男孩〞,而〝John is the boy.〞的意思就完不同了,我们一定曾经提到过某一个男孩子,而约翰就是那个男孩子。可能的情形是:There is a boy who is very good in mathematics. Johnis the boy.

我们就以〝国王〞为例,如果我们泛指一般的国王,我们可以用复数,也可以用单数,但必须用a,以下是一些例子:

Kings are also human beings.

Even a king will die sooner or later.

Have you ever met a king ?

I do not like to be a king.

He is an ordinary person, not a king.

如果我们的国王是指某一个特定的国王,就必须用the,举一个例子;如果我们说〝国王万岁〞,我们当然是指我们的国王,因此〝国王万岁〞的翻译就是

Long live the King.

以下的例子都是正确

Here comes the King.

The King is a popular person in our country.

Even the King of England can not come in.

读者应该了解,同类型的句子,可以用a,也可以用the,但意义是完全不同的,请看以下的句子:

He is not a boy who would cheat others.

意思是:

他不是那种会欺骗别人的男孩子。

再看以下的句子:

He is not the boy who cheated in an examinationyesterday.

他不是昨天在考试中舞弊的男孩。

再看以下的句子:

He is a King.

意思是〝他是一个国王〞。

如果说

He is the King.

意思就完全不同了,这句话的意思是〝他是我们国家的国王〞。

请注意,世界上国王有好多个,如果我们仅仅说他是一个国王,当然没有指定哪一个国家的国王,就用a king,如果我们用the King意思当然指我们共识中的国王。这时的King中的K必须大写,以示尊敬。

我们再举一个例子:

Please open a window.

是指请开一扇窗子,随便哪一扇都可以。

Please open the window.

就不同了,说这句话的人和听这句话的人一定有一个共识,〝the window〞一定是指某一扇特定的窗子,也许这间房子里只有一扇窗,也可能他们谈话中曾经提到某一扇窗,〝the window〞就是指那一扇窗。

我们可以再举一个例,假如我们说,〝我们需要一场大雨〞,我们说

We need a heavy rain.

如果我们说,〝这场雨好大〞,我们说

The rain is really heavy.

有了这个基本观念以后,我们就很容易了解以下句子中,为什么要用the:

I am going to the train station.

The post office is quite near.

Where is the library?

根据这种原则,当我们提到地球,月亮这种独一无二的东西,就必须用the。

the earth

the sun

the moon

the universe

除此以外,the还有一个特殊的用途,我们可以在the的后面加一个形容词,使这两个字变成了一个名词,举例来说:

the rich=富人

the poor=穷人

the weak=弱者

the deaf=聋人

the blind=盲人

请注意,以上的名词是复数:

The rich always get richer.

The poor are getting poorer.

The blind are often very sensitive to sounds.

以下是一些用a和the的例子,读者应设法了解句子中为何有时用a,有时用the。

He is a student.

He is the student who can swim very well.

I like to be a teacher.

He is the teacher who taught me English.

The president of the United States in an importantperson in the world.

I have a son and a daughter.

I have two sons. This is the son who will be a doctor.

I want to be a teacher who is loved by students.

He is not the person whom we talked about.

There is a boat in the river.

This is the boat which we can use.

The rain is going to stop tomorrow.

We need a good rain.

The weather is really bad.

Is there a train station near us?

Where is the station?

Do you know where the post office is?

There is a post office inside that building.

The library looks so good.

The rich should pay more taxes.

We should pay more attentions to the poor.

The blind can also study computer science now.

The earth is round.

The sun never sets in the British Empire.

Do you think we can reach the moon?

How large is the universe?

【练习五十六】

1.    他是一个好学生。

3. I don't want to be         teacher.

4. He wants to become         doctor.

6. Please open         door which opens to thehall.

23. I am going to take         vacation next month.

24. John will become         basketball player.

25. I ride          bicycleto work every morning.

12§2 a和an的用法

在英文里,a有时必须用an代替,凡是一个字一开始的发音是元音的话,那么前面就不能用a,而必须用an例子:

an apple

an answer

an egg

an eye

an island

an idea

an old lady

an odd case

an umbrella

请注意,用an与否并不是完全和字母有关,而是和发音有关。举例来说,u虽然是一个元音字母,但是我们却说a unit,而不能用*an unit,因为unit的一开始发音并非元音。

其它类似的例子有:

a useful car

a university

a uniform

a one-sided opinion

反过来说,有些字并不以元音开始,但是却必须用an,因为这些字的第一音节是元音发音,例子:

an honest person

an hour

【练习五十八】

填入a或an

1. He is         English Professor.

2. This is         easy job.

3. He is just         ordinary person.

4.         friend in need is          friend indeed.

5. Give me         hint.

6. I have         American friend.

7. I will become         engineer.

8. Is he         honest boy?

9.         hour later, he went away.

10. Is this         university library?

12§3 冠词使用时的例外

在以上的两节,我们好像说冠词的使用是有一定规则的,其实不然,例外也不少。在很多情形之下,冠词是要省略的,更麻烦的是,连省略冠词的规则都有例外,应该省的却又不省了。

第一个有关冠词的特殊用法是这样的,假设我们要说〝男生通常不喜欢弹钢琴〞,我们不能说

Boy does not like to play the piano.

而要说

Boys do not like to play the piano.

这时,Boys的前面,是没有冠词的,理由很简单,我们不能加a,因为boys是复数,我们也不能加the,因为boys并没有指定哪一个男孩,也没有指定哪一种男孩。类似的例子有:

Girls are more diligent than boys.

When spring comes, flowers start to bloom.

Dogs are often close to their masters.

Cats are often quite lazy.

Men eat more than women.

Professors are all very smart.

第二个规则有关所谓不可数名词,很多名词是可以数的如:

a cup, two cups

a boy, three boys

a teacher

a student

a boat

an airplane

a glass of water

a cup of tea

可是很多名词是不可数的,以下这些名词都是抽象的,因此不可数

time

love

hatred

pain

joy

sadness

kindness

wisdom

hope

patience

这些抽象名词的前面是不要加冠词的,例子如下:

Time flies.(时间过得很快)

We can not live without love.

Let there be no hatred.

We must be able to endure pain.

Loving others creates joy.

There is sadness in his voice.

Can you feel his kindness?

He has wisdom.

There is hope among us.

I am losing patience.

以上的例子,乃是泛指的事物,如果特定的抽象名词,仍要加冠词。例如:

This is the time to cry.

Do you feel the pain?

There is a hatred towards was in our society.

Everyone can feel the joy of being loved.

We just can not avoid the sadness of losing some lovedones.

He does have the patience to listen to long talks.

It is a virtue not to steal.

还有一些不可数的名词,是所谓的物质名词,像

water

fire

air

metal

tea

coffee

bread

butter

如果这些物质名词泛指一般的东西,前面是不要加冠词的,例如

Drinking water is important.

Don't play with fire.

We need air to breath.

There is metal in this device.

I don't drink tea.

I like coffee.

Father brings bread and butter home every day.

一旦物质名词指特定的东西,前面就要加冠词,例如:

The water in this city is polluted.

There was a fire near our home last night.

The air in this town is getting worse and worse.

Copper is a metal.

The tea from Indiais very popular in England.

专有名词,一般说来都不要加冠词的:

Mary is from Canada.

John got married last month.

Taiwan is an island.

England is in Europe.

France is a nice country to visit.

Russia is a large country.

Park Street is themain street in this city.

Go to Taipeifirst.

Sun Moon Lake is a beautiful lake.

January is often very cold here.

Sunday is a day for resting.

Spring is the best season.

Mt. Everest isin Europe.

President Kennedy died when he was young.

King George was considered a mad king.

Queen Elizabeth visited Australia recently.

可惜的是,英文中专有名词仍有要加the的,我们将试着将这些例外写成规则,但这种规则一定挂一漏万,读者如要知道何种情况要加冠词,何种情况不加冠词,惟一的办法是多读英文的文章,慢慢地就会了解什么情形该用冠词,什么情形不用冠词。

哪些专门名词前面仍要加冠词the呢?

(1)河流,海洋,沙漠,海峡,海湾等等专有名词的前面都要加the

the Hudson River (赫德森河)

第十三章 形容词的比较级

如果我们要翻译〝他比较老〞,我们不能说

* He is more old.

而一定要说

He is older.

为什么呢?这是因为英文里面的形容词有所谓的比较级规则。在下一节,我们讲一些最基本的规则。

13§1 最基本的规则

首先,我们要说明英文形容词有三个等级:原级、比较级和最高级,最基本的规则是根据音节的多少来分的。

一般来说,单音节的形容词在字后面加er,就变成了比较级,加est就变成了最高级,而双音节,或双音节以上的形容词,比较级是在字前面加more,最高级则是在字前面加most,举例来说,old, smart, strong, weak, high, low等等都是单音节的形容词,他们的变化如下:

原级

比较级

最高级

old

older

oldest

smart

smarter

smartest

strong

stronger

strongest

weak

weaker

weakest

high

higher

highest

low

lower

lowest

以上的形容词,都是单音节的,以下的例子都有关双音节的形容词:

原级

比较级

最高级

difficult

more difficult

most difficult

delicious

more delicious

most delicious

beautiful

more beautiful

most beautiful

correct

more correct

most correct

stupid

more stupid

most stupid

significant

more significant

most significant

有一个规则必须注意,我们不能将more和er混在一齐用,以下的例子都是错的:

*      He is more older thanI.

*      He is more taller thanhis brother.

正确的句子是:

He is older than I.

He is taller than his brother.

【练习六十二】

写出以下形容词的比较级:

1. small

2. slow

3. intelligent

4. expensive

5. tall

6. short

7. important

8. cheap

9. famous

10. cold

11. fast

12. careful

13. colorful

14. long

15. dark

16. bright

13§2 特殊的比较级规则

在上一节,我们说明了最基本的规则,那就是单音节形容词加er或est,双音节的形容词前面加more或most。但以下就是这些基本规则的例外。

(1)单音节形容词的字是e,就直接加rst

原级

比较级

最高级

large

larger

largest

late

later

latest

nice

nicer

nicest

wise

wiser

wisest

(2)形容词的字尾是y,而前一个子母是一个子音,则除掉y,加上ier,或iest

原级

比较级

最高级

lucky

luckier

luckiest

happy

happier

happiest

pretty

prettier

prettiest

dry

drier

driest

easy

easier

easiest

(3)    单音节形容词的字尾是子音,前一音是一个元音,则字尾必须重复一次,再加erest

原级

比较级

最高级

fat

fatter

fattest

hot

hotter

hottest

wet

wetter

wettest

big

bigger

biggest

(4)    完全不规则的变化:
英文中,有几个特殊的字,他们的比较级完全没有规则,以下是一些例子,读者必须记住:

原级

比较级

最高级

good
well

better

best

bad

worse

worst

many
much

more

most

【练习六十三】

写下以下形容词的比较级:

1. cute

2. wide

3. early

4. happy

5. heavy

6. thin

7. easy

8. hot

9. wise

10. large

11. good

12. bad

13. many

13§3 比较形的用法

大多数比较级句子里会有than,以下是一些例子:

I am older than he.

His English is better than mine.

San Francisco is more beautiful than New York.

His car is cheaper than your car.

He is the most diligent student in his class.

I like apples more than oranges.

He has more money than his brother.

He is stronger than his brother.

必须注意的是以下的句子是错的:

*      I am older than him.

*      She is smarter than me.

为什么错了呢?因为原来句子应该是:

I am older than he (is).

She is more smart than I (am).

习惯上的is和am都省略掉的,由以上的解释可以看出,than后面的句词应该是主词,而非受词。

以下的错误,也请特别注意:

*      My head is larger thanyour.

正确的句子是:

My head is larger than your head.

或者       My head is largerthan yours.

请看以下几个错误的句子:

*      My house is larger thanyour.

*      The temperature of thiscity is higher than San Francisco.

*      The height of Himalayasis greater than Mt. Fuji.

*      My bicycle is older thanhis.

正确的句子应该是:

My house is larger than your house.

或者        My house islarger than yours.

The temperature of this city is higher than thetemperature of San Francisco.

或者        TheTemperature of this city is higher than that of San Francisco.

The height of Himalayas is greater than the height of Mt. Fuji.

或者        The heightof Himalayas is greater than that of Mt. Fuji.

请注意以下的例子,句子中没有than,但仍有比较级:

Among all the teachers who have taught me, he is thebest.

This is the best movie I have ever seen.

This food is the worst one which I have ever eaten.

John is the stronger one.

Do we have a better choice?

Mary is the more diligent one.

He is the older of the two.

He is one of the best movie actors.

This area is one of the hottest areas in the world.

He is one of the fastest swimmers of America.

This is a book which I like most.

1. *He is moreold than I.

7. *She istaller than him.

8. *The heightof this boy is greater than his brother.

第十四章 总复习的例子

在这一章,我们将给很多简短的文章,每一段文章的后面,我们都会有详细的解释,相信这些解释将有助于读者对于文法的了解。

(1)

Dear Mother:
I arrived at the Taipei Train Station around one o'clock in the afternoonyesterday. My friend, Mr. Chen, greeted me in the station. We took a taxi to godirectly to the university and checked into the dormitory. The dormitory is avery old one. I will live with three other boys and I met two of them already.Both of them are from Taichungand they are both quite friendly.

We went to the dormitory cafeteria for dinner. Thefood is not that good. Dear Mother, I miss you and especially the food youcooked for me.

Your son

这封信很简单,所叙述的事情不是用简单的现在式,就是简单的过去式,当然也有一次用了未来式。

绝大多数的句子都用了简单的过去式,因为这些句子都是叙述过去所发生的事,用现在式的有以下几句:

The dormitory is a very old one.

Both of them are from Taichung.

The food is not that good.

I miss you and the food you cooked for me.

为什么这几句话要用现在式呢?道理很简单,这几句话描写的是一些状态,而并非过去发生的事。

〝The dormitory is a very old one.〞

〝Both of them are from Taichung.〞

〝The food is not that good.〞

〝I miss you and the food you cooked for me.〞

等四个句子都是目前存在的事实,所以要用现在式。

现在我们不妨看一下冠词的情形,我们可以看到很多地方都用了the,如:

the TaipeiTrain Station

the afternoon

the station

the university

the dormitory cafetervia

the dormitory

the food

the food you cooked for me

各位读者一定可以注意到在the后面的名词都有所指,举例来说,the university指那所作者要去念的大学,他的妈妈知道他所说的是那一所大学。The dormitory指那间他已搬进去住的宿舍。凡是有所指的名词前面,原则上都应该加the。

哪里用了〝a〞呢?注意,我们用了两次

a taxi

a very old one

读者应该不难看出为什么这里我们不能用the,而一定要用a。

(2)

Mary: "Hello, this is Mary. Who is calling?"

John: "Hi, this is John. How are you?"

Mary: "I am doing fine. In fact, I am studyingfor the final examination now."

John: "Oh, I am sorry. When will the exam beover?"

Mary: "This Friday."

John: "Then, can we have dinner Fridayevening?"

Mary: "OK, where are we going to eat?"

John: "How about the Chinese restaurant calledFour Seasons?"

Mary: "That is all right with me. When do wemeet?"

John: "How about six o'clock?"

Mary: "That's it. See you Friday evening at 6o'clock at the Four Seasons."

这一篇短文主要的目的在于介绍所谓现在进行式。

Who is calling.

I am doing fine.

I am studying for the final examination now.

都是标准的现在进行式,事实上,也必须用现在进行式。

(3)

I have been interested in music ever since I was asmall child. When I was seven years old, my mother gave me a violin as abirthday present. I have been taking violin lessons ever since.

I am so much interested in music that I finallydecided to go to music school. This was a hard decision for me. I consultedwith my parents. Both of them encouraged me to go ahead.

Yesterday, I was accepted by one of the best musicschools in Taiwan.I am really happy about this.

这一段话中,我们开始用现在完成式,比方说第一句话就是

I have been interested in music ever since I was asmall child.

为什么要用现在完成式呢?道理很简单,这句话里面有有〝ever since〞这个词,凡是有了这个词句,我们就一定要用现在完成式了。

另外一句用了现在完成进行式的句子是:

I have been taking violin lessons ever since.

读者不妨去看看第四章,就知道为什么这里要用现在完成进行式了。凡是〝自从〞某某日开始,而就一直在做的事情,就应该用现在完成式,或者现在完成进行式。

这一段文章里面,我们还用了被动语气。

I was accepted by one of the best music schools in Taiwan.

各位读者不妨注意,这被动语气的用法是很正当而且适宜的,如用主动这句话变成了

One of the best music schools accepted me.

这样反而并不太能表达原意。

(4)

Before I got into college, I had been to the United Statesand lived there for one year. This is why I could speak English better thanaverage students.

As I studied as a college student, Hitler was secretlypreparing for the Second World War. The war erupted finally when I was asenior. I was forced to quit school and was drafted into the army. I luckilysurvived the war and came back to resume my studying after the war was over.Since I had gone to the war, I was more mature than most of the other students.

Even now, I can still remember my days as a collegestudent as well as a soldier.

这篇文章介绍了如何使用过去完成式,第一句话就用了过去完成式,因为有两件事,一件是〝进大学〞,另一件是〝去过美国〞,由于在进大学以前去美国,所以〝去美国〞就用了过去完成式。

请注意第二段的第一句:

As I studied as a college student, Hitler was secretlypreparing for the Second World War.

这一次,我们用了过去进行式,因为有两件事,〝在学校念书〞是一件事,〝希特勒在准备发动第二次世界大战〞是另一件事,其中有一件可以用过去完成式。

同理,在第二段话的最后一句话中,〝曾经去打过仗〞用了过去完成式。

这段文章中,有一句话用了被动语气,读者不妨看这句话〝I was forced to quit school.〞,其实我们在这种情形之下,我们必须用被动语气,当然也可以用主动语气,不过那并不太自然。

也请读者注意这段文章的最后一句话仍一定要用现在式。

(5)

I have been interested in reading novels for a longtime. Among all of the novels that I have read, I like detective novels themost. Among all detective novels, I especially like those written by AgathaChriste.

Last year, I started reading another kind of novels,namely science fictions. I found out that some science fiction writers arequite philosophical. Unfortunately, there are not too many of them.

I always have a dream that one day I will be good inwriting novels. Do you think that my dreams may come true?

这段文章中,我们介绍了动名词的用法,第一句话的reading就是动名词,除此以外,我们还有两处用了动名词:started reading和good in writing。

读者也应该了解为什么第一句话要用现在完成进行式,在第二句话里面,当我们形容novels,我们也用了现在完成式。

请读者注意第一段的最后一句话,those written by Agatha Christe。在这里,written是一个过去分词用作了形容词,形容novels,我们也可以说those whichwere written by Agatha Christe.

顺便讲一下,Agatha Christe是一位非常著名的侦探小说作者。

也请大家注意,我们只能说interested in reading,而不能说interesting in reading。

(6)

Tomorrow, there will be a dancing party in ouruniversity. Since we are freshmen and most of us have never been to a largedancing party, we are naturally very much excited. I must say that I am notthat excited. Although dancing is interesting, I often think that the music istoo loud. Besides, as a bystander, I often find the way that the young peopledance these days is so funny. When they dance, they often remind me of monkeys.

Well, I must admit that playing basketball is moreinteresting to me. But, unfortunately, I cannot play basketball tomorrowbecause the courts will be used for the dancing party.

这一段话主要的目的是介绍现分词和过去分词用成形容词的做法。第一个现在分词是dancing,dancing 在这里形容party。

我们在这里看到有些时候,我们应该用现在分词,有时要用过去分词。请看以下的句子:

We are naturally very much excited.

在这里,我们一定要用excited,绝对不能用

*We are naturally very exciting.

下一句

Although dancing is interesting,

在这里,我们必须用interesting,而不能用interested。也就是说,我们不能说

*Although dancing is interested.

(7)

We probably all believe that we should love others andforgive those who do bad things to us. Unfortunately it is often hard for us topractice what we believe in. For example, if someone really hurts us badly, wejust do not know what we should do. Should we take some kind of action to hurtthe person who hurt us, or should we forgive him?

The truth is that we may still seek justice. It isright if we want a criminal to go to jail for his crime. Yet, we should neverhave hatred in our hearts.

这篇文章的目的在介绍〝子句〞的用法,请注意这篇文章内的很多子句,举例来说

that we should love others and forgive those who dobad things.

就是一个子句,这个子句是believe的受词,有趣的是,这个子句内部又有一个子句,那就是

who do bad things to do.

这个子句是形容those的。

以下是这一段文章的全部子句:

that we should love others and forgive those

who do bad things to us

what we believe in

what we should do

that we may still seek justice
